If you have to ask for opinions you're probably not quite ready. I'm not trying to be a smart ass but when the time is right you will know it and yes it's ok to be scared silly. I've been living by my wit's for 29 years - some have been rough and others great, pretty much like anything in life. I've liked my life style, I could have made more money maybe but have been pretty happy for the most part. Do your home work check to see if your present contacts will helpful for you, Ect Etc.

1. Make a game plan.
2. Prepare to put your plan into action.
3. Kick your self in the butt and go for it.

Good Luck
